SALLYPORT
and Elsewhere
BY ft. t. DRAKE
Something most of us have forgot-
ten:
Matriculation Pledge
The following resolutions were
adopted by the trustees and faculty
and Hlce Institute in June, 1922:
1. There Mliall be no social clubs,
fraternity or sorority,
2. There shall be no hazing
While 1 remain a student at the
Rice Institute, I hereby agree to abide
by the spirit of these resolutions.
(Signed) A. SI-IMK.
« *
An inquisitive person Just after
reading the matriculation pledge
wanted to know what "they call the
literary societies." A foolish questlou:
everyone knows they are CALLED lit-
erary societies.
« •
Perhaps the most notable visitor in
the Sallyport last Saturday morning
was Miss Cherry Schwartz, '29. Cher-
ry is a high school instructor of Eng-
lish ami history in the prosperous
town of Angleton, where they censor
billboards.
ifaot Asjf OW Clothes? Bring

IPPII Go To School
Students who have old or outgrown
clothing which still retains some wear-
ing qualities are urged to donate same
to the Thrift Exchange which main-
tains a box In Mrs. Stratford's office.
The purpose of this exchange is to
find appropriate clothing for children
in Houston who cannot attend school
on acount of lack of proper equip-
ment.
The Parent-Teachers' organization
which Is sponsoring this work is mak-
ing an effort to furnish opportunity
for every child of school age to have
sufficient clothing to attend school.
City laundries will clean all donated
articles free of charge.

Nimble Jack and his candle, Higgly l'iggly, Black Hen, Lltte Bo Peep, and
all of them, have deserted the park for a better abode on hte red tile roof of
East Hall. The kidnapping stunt was performed during the night. Eggs are
being collected regularly from the little hen.—Also three slimes. Shire, Mur-
phy and Holt by name, figured in a shooting escapade which ended In near
tragedy, on the Richmond road about ten miles out. one dark night this week.
A senior engineer was wounded and these three slimes look twenty years
older Get some "old grad" to tell you the details.
